Efficient Prior Sensitivity and Tipping-point Analysis for Medical Research: Revisiting Sampling Importance Resampling
Bayesian methods have received increasing attention in medical research, where sensitivity analysis of prior distributions is essential. Such analyses typically require the evaluation of the posterior distribution of a parameter under multiple alternative prior settings. When the posterior distribution of the parameter of interest cannot be derived analytically, the standard approach is to re-fit the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm for each setting, which incurs substantial computatio…

In 1987, a management consultancy concluded that the Netherlands should aim for a coal economy by 2050 ('cheap and abundant'). At Ecofys, we were surprised: can't be, we'd ruin our climate.
CO₂ concentration was at 350 ppm, global temperature increase at 0.6°C.
Now, 38 years later, I read: first tipping point reached.

Finished reading "The Lilac People" by Milo Todd today. It's a good story, but I did find myself crying quite a few times. It's compelling historical fiction that should be more widely known, but it's not the emotional place I want to be right now.
I want more hope, more empowerment. The US is in a dark place right now, but in uncertainty, there is the opportunity for positive change as well. We can all feel the tipping point, and I hope, despite the inadequacy of…
